Bonzy Fundraising

The Request

Many schools across the United States face ongoing budget constraints that leave important classroom needs unmet. It has become increasingly common for teachers to spend their own money to support students and fund essential activities.

Bonzy Charities, Inc. set out to address this gap by creating a platform that could connect teachers directly with funding sources. They needed a solution that would not only make it easier to raise funds, but also ensure accountability, transparency, and proper oversight at the school and district level. In addition, they wanted to create a more engaging way for businesses to contribute, giving employees a voice in how corporate donations are distributed.

The Solution

In partnership with Software Verde, Bonzy was developed as a custom mobile application designed specifically for education-focused crowdfunding.

The platform enables verified teachers to create fundraisers for classroom needs, with all campaigns reviewed and managed by school administrators to ensure alignment with district guidelines. Available on both iOS and Android, Bonzy connects local classrooms with businesses in a more direct and meaningful way, allowing companies to purchase “Bons” and distribute them to employees, who can then choose where funds are allocated.

To support transparency and trust, the platform leverages Simple Ledger Protocol and a public blockchain to track all transactions. This allows donors, schools, and administrators to clearly see how funds are purchased, distributed, and used, creating a level of accountability not typically found in traditional crowdfunding platforms.
